The global value chains perspective has gained importance in international development cooperation.
Interventions to support small producers’ participation and position in value chains are being implemented
in private sector programs.
Aid practitioners and researchers are concerned with elaborating the most efficient strategies for such interventions.
*What are the impacts for producers, households and the local community?
*Do global value chain interventions contribute to sustainable development?
*How can impacts be measured?
The conference will address these and other key issues from a theoretical, methodological as well as a practical perspective.
Two international key note speakers will contribute with insights from the current international frontiers of global value chain research and application of methods in development assistance.
* Dr. Khalid Nadvi, University of Manchester, will present his approach to impact assessment in relation to industrial clusters and their insertion into global value chains.
* Mr. Joost Oorthuizen, Director of the Dutch Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), will present experiences from a range of value chains in the IDH program.
Representatives of Danish research communities will present their particular focus and approach to global
value chain analysis.
A panel debate, case presentations and a poster session will further facilitate an exchange of views, approaches and experiences.
